How do I get out of my overdraft?

Let's hope that you get your finances on track then so you are in a stronger position (with financial confidence, etc.) to stand your ground, and sort things from there however they turn out

Wow! £300 better than a month ago is fab! Good luck for BT tomorrow too.

Just thought I'd update on here in case anyone further down the line (or in a similar situation) reads this. As my sig shows, I'm making excellent headway into my overdraft debt, I admit I'm astonished with how well its going.

My signature tells a little lie - I havn't paid the gas/elec bill yet, that'll be £334 in the next few days. But I'm making progress, partly by finally halving everything for the house/our child so that my husband contributes his fair share (I think I was being too lenient). I also do my Tesco food shop on my Clubcard credit card and pay it off before the interest date, so I get extra clubcard points too . I have eased off paying my Barclays credit card so much, to help.

On the flip side, my marriage appears to be in less good shape and looks like its breaking down. I'm not going to go into reasons (I am getting help from people who can provide it) but husband has altered our relationship. Thus, our BT still hasn't been sorted.

However, I'm pleased with how things are going financially. Long may it continue
